Yes. You should be fine getting Botox and Volbella with rheumatoid arthritis. Make sure to give your plastic surgeon a full medical history and I would avoid doing any treatments if or when you have a flare up. Hope this helps.
As long as your RA is well-controlled, there is no contra-indication. Always discuss your medications and your symptoms with your doctor before having any kind of cosmetic procedure. I have treated many patients with auto-immune diseases and they have all done well.
This is an excellent question. There should not be any contraindication to receiving Botox or Volbella treatments if your rheumatoid arthritis is under control - I have treated patients with a history of well-controlled autoimmune diseases with a variety of fillers without an issues. As always, I would recommend discussing your full medical history and medications with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon during your consultation. Best of luck!
As long as you are not having an active flare of your Rheumatoid Arthritis, Botox and fillers (like Volbella) should be fine. I recently spoke with Allergan (the company that makes Botox and Volbella) to ask the question about a patient of mine with scleroderma. There were no treatment contraindications to the products with regards to patients with well controlled autoimmune diseases. Hope that helps.
Thank you for this question and legitimate concern. RA can be a troubling condition.However, there should be NO CONTRAINDICATIONS to getting treated with Botox and/or Volbella in your lips.I do recommend two things. One, that you discuss this with your Rheumatologist prior to your injection appointment; and two, that the Board Certified Dermatologist doing the injections is fully aware of your RA diagnosis. There should be no changes in your preparation for, or care following, the treatment with Botox and Volbella.Best of luck to you ....
Having RA should not hinder you from receiving aesthetic treatments such as botox, filler, or microneedling.

As always, consult with a board-certified and experienced cosmetic physician.
There should be no reason why you cannot do botox or vobella if you have RA.It should not exacerbate your symptoms. Microneedling should be okay as well as long as your symptoms are stable. I would suggest you discuss it with your doctor if you have any concerns.
There should be no problem getting treatment with Botox and/or filler when you have RA. There have NOT been reported any reactions with Botox in patients with RA
You live only once and you shouldn't have any issues arising from the treatment using Botox. But everyone is different and some reactions can occur in people with or without RA. However enjoy your good results and good luck from New York City
It should not be a problem. This is assuming your RA is under treatment or at least under control. Best of luck.
For Botox, I mix each 100 unit bottle with 2 ml of saline so each of my injection doses is 2.5 units. I like to start with 2.5 units per side. I get a better result when the Botox is injected at the insertion point of the muscle near the corner of the mouth. If a second injection is required, I...
Thank you for your question. I am unaware of Botox having any affect on your WBC or any of your blood work. If it is rechecked sometime later, it will likely be different/normal. Sincerely,Benjamin J. Cousins MD
Generally, when I see a patient for the first time I like to be conservative in the amount I use. Remember, you can always add more, but you cannot reverse giving too much. That said, 9 units is extremely conservative for achieving a desired result. Every patient should be treated as an...
